$5 Dollar Dinner Menu

It's going to be a busy week at our house. Not alot of time for cooking. I think the crock pot will be used heavily.

When figuring the cost of my meals, I figure in the prices of the main ingredients that I paid, using sales and coupons. If you make these recipes from ingredients purchased at regular price, the cost can be significantly higher. I don't calculate out smaller ingredients such as spices. I usually round up my numbers to try to include the nominal costs of these small ingredients.

Sunday --- Birthday Party at friend's house

Monday -- Crockpot Ravioli Casserole $4.00

Tuesday -- Quick Bean Quesadilla $3.00

Wednesday -- Tomato Basil Salad w/ cut up veggies $3.00

Thursday -- Paula Deens Squash Casserole $3.00 ( I can make this cheaper than last time b/c my squash and zucchini were free!)

Friday -- Lentil Rice Casserole served in tortillas - $4.00

Saturday --- Mama's tired! Let's go out!
